LEPAS Expands Global Presence with First Batch of LEPAS L4 to South Africa

LEPAS Marks a Milestone in Global Expansion

On January 26, 2026, LEPAS, the all-new electric vehicle brand, successfully completed its first export shipment from the port of Taicang, sending over 500 units of its LEPAS L4 to Durban, South Africa. This shipment not only signifies the company's entry into a major automotive market but also highlights its ambitious expansion strategy across the globe.

A Strategic Move into South Africa

South Africa is a crucial hub in the African automotive landscape. With its well-established logistics and port infrastructure, it provides an ideal launching pad for foreign automotive brands looking to penetrate the African market. The LEPAS L4, built on the innovative LEX platform by the Chery Group, boasts dimensions of 4,400 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width, and 1,635 mm in height, alongside a wheelbase of 2,700 mm.

From a consumer standpoint, the LEPAS L4 aligns with the automotive industry’s ongoing shift towards sustainable energy solutions, catering to a growing demand for high-quality New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). Furthermore, from LEPAS's branding perspective, this shipment symbolizes the brand’s readiness to meet diverse driving preferences, even on challenging road conditions.

As the brand gathers real-world feedback, LEPAS aims to refine its products and enhance service systems, paving the way for further market growth and brand development.

Expanding Horizons

Upon its arrival in Durban, the LEPAS L4 will serve as a strategic asset for the brand, which plans to utilize South Africa as a hub for further expansion into other markets across the continent. By leveraging the country's well-connected distribution system, ports, and logistics networks, LEPAS aims to consolidate its operational advantages while focusing on local innovation and customer needs.

This initiative is part of LEPAS's overarching strategy of “being there for somewhere,” ensuring that it remains rooted in local operations and responsive to consumer demands. The brand commits to providing intelligent and stylish NEV mobility solutions tailored for local consumers.

Looking Ahead

However, South Africa is merely the beginning. LEPAS is set to unveil its products, brand presence, and after-sales services in various regions and continents, sharing its philosophy of elegance in lifestyle, robust support infrastructure, and cutting-edge NEV technologies. The company also aims to enhance job opportunities within the NEV industry, positioning itself as a long-term contributor to the global NEV mobility ecosystem.

To keep updated on the latest developments and offerings, customers and interested parties can follow LEPAS on its official social channels including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. They are committed to forging deeper connections with their customer base while remaining at the forefront of EV innovation.

This launch represents not just a shipment of vehicles but a bold vision for a future where electric mobility is accessible, stylish, and embedded in the everyday life of consumers around the world.
